Divergent Boundary- is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
Converging Boundary- is a region where two tectonic plates are moving toward one another. When they move towards each other they can form a subduction zone or a continental collision
Subduction Zone- This is a region where two plates are coming together and one slides underneath the other one. Typically an oceanic plate will slide underneath a continental plate.
Transform Boundary-__ This is a region of horizontal movement were two plates slide or grind against one another.
